Wait this wait until my neck also long adi until gonna fall down. Whatever it makes for FF series, I will buy since I am big FF fans. Arhhh.....Especially the remake of FF7, that was the series which made me to be FF fans.

In my opinion, ff7 ps1 is already perfect as it is..i guess its because of its simple presentation, meaning your imagination plays a huge role..when gaming tech starts getting better, thats where the director's imagination; the way he/she presents the game, especially an RPG, thats when presentation becomes more linear..what u see is wat u get
The way u play ff7 will not be the same, obviously..meaning they have to present it in a different way..which would be the double edge sword..runing freely around the map to the cutscenes, it can never be the same..unless SE just upgrade the graphics n sounds, that wud juz be weird..
Watever it is, I'll still be head over heels 4 teh remake

I totally agree with you.

I can still remember I was in Form 3 after my PMR when I began playing Final Fantasy 7 for the Playstation. Though the graphics look very primitive (pre-rendered cutscenes/ blocky polygons), but somehow the magic lies in the storytelling and how we put ourselves into Cloud just by reading the texts on screen. We imagine the voice of Cloud/Aerith/Tifa, and we try to relate our personal romanticism into their story.

If Square-Enix ever remake the game, they would have to find a different storytelling (not just graphics and sound), to convince us once again the magic that we have once experienced back in the Playstation days.

ff 7 iz epic liao, lets see if ff xiii can live up to that or not...

Serah's hairstyle is derived from another title's actress

Hope was designed during the audition for motion capture

Snow and Serah's necklaces are engagement necklaces
Remember the FF13 title logo

Hope's the only person allowed to call Lightning, Light-san. Even the dev staff is required to call her Lightning (
The menu screen for the TGS demo will still have an important menu selection still hidden. Can't talk about the secret atm. Important aspect related to 13's system.

-Sahz' summon is a red armor wearing fire elemental person that changes into a car
-^--Original summon, not Ifrit

-Snow's weapon is the embroidery on the inside of his coat

-The [TGS] demo has the "knock up" command removed. It's automatically executed to make gameplay easier

-Sahz' afro moves around subtley as he walks

-There's a wind parameter. When there's wind, plants sway. The afro sways as well

-Lightning used to be a slave/held captive?

Added on September 24, 2009, 3:25 amSeptember 23, 2009 - We already played Final Fantasy XIII's Tokyo Game Show demo at the Final Fantasy XIII Premiere Party event earlier this month. But you weren't expecting Square Enix to be totally quiet about the game as Japan's biggest gaming event approached, were you? Sure enough, Famitsu came through today with a massive update on the game.

The big focus of the Famitsu story is Serah Farron. Serah is Lightning's younger sister and Snow's fiancee. It appears that Serah and Lightning lost their parents in their youth, and the two now live together.

FFXIII lead character designer Tetsuya Nomura offered a few comments to the magazine about his design decisions for both Serah and another recent character announcement, Hope.

On Serah, he said that much of the character details are still a secret, and thus he can't share too much about how her design came to be. However, he was able to say that one of the reasons Serah's hair is wavy is that he wanted her silhouette to match up with that of Lightning (the two characters do have similar hair).

On Hope, Nomura revealed that director Motomu Toriyama had something to do with the character ending up being blond. Back when nothing had yet to be set for the character, Toriyama suggested making the game's main character blond. Lightning ended up being pink blond. They decided to give Hope blond hair because they thought that, among the party members, the color would fit him best.

Toriyama and producer Yoshinori Kitase shared some additional background details on Serah in particular. Serah, revealed Toriyama was the first Pulse l'Cie in Cocoon. After she became a l'Cie, a variety of occurrences or incidents started taking place. He wouldn't get into specifics.

The trailer that was shown at the Premiere Party event suggested that Serah is on good terms not just with Lightning and Snow, but with Vanille as well. They actually meet for the first time during the game, Toriyama told Famitsu However, they get along well because their ages are similar.

Toriyama also shard some background on the trailer's opening. The trailer opened with a romantic scene of Snow and Serah against what appeared to be a fireworks ceremony. This ceremony is actually the largest event in Serah's town. She resides in a resort town that's visited by many tourists. Snow and the Nora crew live there too. When they're not fighting against the government, they manage a beach house.

While giving our first in-depth look at Serah, the trailer also provided our first brief glimpse at a new character -- a black-haired girl who appeared at the end of the trailer. Asked if this character would be important, Toriyama would only say that details would be announced in the future. However, he suggested that there are hints about the character in the information revealed during the Premiere party.

The two did manage to touch a bit upon the gameplay side of things. Did you think Vanille's fishing rod-like weapon was odd? Then wait until you see Snow's weapon. Apparently, that long coat Snow is always seen wearing is his weapon. The coat has a slot for special patches which can be swapped out to give it special powers. In terms of the game's storyline, the coat is something that was made by Nora using technology from the government.

One area of the Premiere Party (and TGS) demos that struck us as odd was the missing launch command from the battle menu. In the original Advent Children demo, you were able to select a launch command to launch your foes into the sky. Toriyama explained that this move has been made to occur automatically in order to make the game more user-friendly.

This isn't strictly gameplay-related, but we have a feeling people are going to spend a good amount of time on it. There's a bit more to Sazh's afro than just a giant mass of hair. The afro actually shakes as the character walks. Additionally, Kitase revealed that the game's engine has wind parameters that effect the environment. When the wind blows, the trees will shake, and so too will Sazh's fro.

It looks like Square Enix still has plenty left to share on Final Fantasy XIII even after the recent announcement of a December 17 Japanese release date. We, of course, have no complaints!
